MOD_REWRITE on Apache 2.2 not working
Posted on 2011-03-01
I am trying to rewrite requests to image files to Rackspace CloudFiles CDN. I tried the following in .htaccess file but no luck
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/files/(.*)$ http://********.rackcdn.com/$1 [R=302,L]
********** = unique Container ID which is present in the actual .htaccess file.

That I don't understand? How present in the .htaccess file?
But notwithstanding, check that the .htaccess file is in the directory /files and this is directly under the directory sopecified in directory path and that the server has access to the .htaccess file.
(Usual things, I know, but often overlooked).

So even though /files/ is specified the .htaccess file still needs to be inside /files/? I will try that.

One either puts rewrite rules inside httpd.conf (which I always do so that for my sites I always can immediately see what is what) or in the directory in which the URL resolves to (which one always forgets that one has done that)
